Those who watched Game of Thrones during its original run over ten years ago know how crushing certain episodes were, and some might have preferred a fair warning to prepare for the horrors to come. This list features the top ten episodes that were emotionally taxing for the audience, especially for those who watched the show for the first time.
From shocking beheadings to devastating weddings, these moments defined the series' reputation for ruthlessness and unpredictability. Game of Thrones is still the most successful television show of all time, and its style changed the landscape of television's storytelling forever.

Back in 2019, Modern Family star Sarah Hyland starred in the romantic comedy film The Wedding Year. Six years later, she has been accused of acting rather unpleasant on the set.
In The Wedding Year, comedian Jeff Dye has a very brief role as the husband of Anna Camp's character. During a recent interview for The George Janko Show, Dye claimed that this was long enough for him to observe Hyland acting like a "tyrant" on the set. He described a few different instances of Hyland's alleged behavior, from a claim that the Modern Family star complained about extras getting free catering to allegedly telling Dye he's what's "wrong with people."
For those of you saying I’m the jerk for not keeping silent about a bully I’ve gotten like 123772255226 messages about how terrible Sarah Hyland is. pic.twitter.com/QdlzQfeHxx— Jeff Dye (@JeffDye) February 14, 2025

Exclusive: Egyptian and American filmmaker Sam Abbas has unveiled upcoming picture Europe’s New Faces capturing the migrant experience, from crossing the Mediterranean Sea out of Libya to settling in Paris-based squats.
The observational work is the fruit of three years of filming migrant communities living illegally in abandoned buildings across Paris, as well as on the work of Médecins Sans Frontières (Msf) rescue ship Geo Barents, which operated across the Mediterranean from June 2021 until late 2024, saving 12,675 people in 190 operations.
“Making this film I spent close to three years with migrants in different capacities and got a glimpse into a world so different from my own that it’s hard to fully comprehend. A world with constant and never-ending challenges. A world in which socially, the isolation is profound,” said Abbas.
“Surrounded by cultural and language divides, they face stereotypes and biases that keep them from feeling welcome, leaving many...

Mega reality TV producer Carlos King said he has faith that “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star NeNe Leakes will eventually make her return to the franchise.
“We saw NeNe Leakes co-host the [E!] Emmys red carpet after show, along with my friend Justin Sylvester and Ariana Maddix from ‘Vanderpump Rules,’ and we all supported that decision in terms of, ‘Yay, NeNe’s back doing stuff with the network, and that’s great and they promoted her,'” King told TheWrap in response to whether or not he believed Leakes would rejoin the series.

One part The Office, one part Dracula, and several parts the 2014 What We Do In The Shadows movie from Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement, this charming FX sitcom has been chugging along for the past six years, reliably producing season after season of quality comedy with a horror twist. What We Do In The Shadows occasionally earned a viral moment or a spike in popularity, but mostly it sank or swam by doing what sitcoms always did: introducing a great cast of memorable characters, finding hilarious people to play them, and then making merciless fun of them episode after episode, year after year.

Filled with sex, violence, and perverse scientific experiments, several Poor Things scenes have shocked and thrilled audiences. Yorgos Lanthimos' adaptation of Alasdair Gray's novel follows Bella Baxter (Emma Stone), an adult woman with the brain of a child, as she grows up fast and comes to understand the world around her through a unique lens. Without the restrictions of polite society to weigh her down, Bella fixates on sexual pleasure and instant gratification, leading to some intense sex scenes and plenty of regressive outbursts of violence and profanity.
Poor Things' 11 Oscar nominations (and four wins) are an indication of its critical charm, which is impressive for a movie that is so visually confronting.

With Margot at the Wedding, writer-director Noah Baumbach makes an Éric Rohmer film. The character’s names are French, it’s lit like a French movie, cut like a French movie, and has the rhythms and languorousness of, specifically, a Rohmer movie. But, and this may be a hot take: Rohmer never made a film as textured and exquisite as the one Baumbach makes here. Rohmer’s films often deal with an indecisive man-child choosing between two women: there’s a lovely wistfulness about them, but they’re repetitive and limited in depth.
Baumbach captures the Rohmer melancholia, but he fleshes out all the relationships in the film so they are deeply lived-in and layered. The film is all frayed edges, with unpredictable touches and uncomfortable complexities…...

An arranged marriage between an 18th-century Scot and a 1940s time-traveling Brit seems like an odd pairing, but Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan's Claire and Jamie Fraser were able to add a whole load of chemistry to an improbable couple. From Seasons 1-7 of Outlander, hopeless romantics have been spoon-fed many memorable instances of love, faith, and intimacy between these two characters, making it impossible to not root for them since day 1. After experiencing anything from the bloody war in Culloden to reuniting with each other years later and starting over in America, it is wonderful to reminisce about this couple's epic love story and how they continue to put each other first despite the circumstances. Yet, this connection that Claire and Jamie have wouldn't be the same if they weren't forcibly banded together in Season 1, Episode 7, entitled "The Wedding." This episode was a spot-on introduction to this pair,...

While the The Great season 2 ending seemed prepared to provide a peaceful resolution, the final minutes add a complicated twist to the ending that needs to be explained. The sudden twist ending in The Great season 2’s conclusion is not entirely unexpected in retrospect as it follows a similar pattern to the closure of The Great season 1. The Great season 2 started four months after the events of the first season and concludes Catherine’s (Elle Fanning) coup against Peter (Nicholas Hoult) to take the Russian throne as she forces him to sign papers of abdication.
As Catherine works to keep a firm grasp on the throne, Peter attempts to make her fall in love with him. This plan is complicated when Peter ends up sleeping with, and accidentally killing, Catherine’s mother Joanna (Gillian Anderson). In The Great season 2 ending, Catherine appears to forgive Peter for his actions. However, in the final minutes,...

The film has been sold to Condor (France), September Films (Benelux), Movies Inspired (Italy), Leopardo Filmes (Portugal), McF Megacom (former Yugoslavia), Kino Swiat (Poland) and Aqs (Czech Rep./Slovakia).
“The Green Border” tells the story of a family of Syrian refugees, a solitary English teacher from Afghanistan and a young border guard, all of whom meet on the Polish-Belarusian border during the most recent humanitarian crisis triggered by Belarus’ president Alexander Lukashenko, who opened the country’s doors to migrants as a back door to enter the EU.

The third episode of Succession, "The Wedding," brought the most shocking turn of events of the series: Logan died while traveling in his private jet. The episode started as usual, without showing any signs of Logan's sickness, but he died while the rest of the characters were at Connor's wedding.

This clearly changed the entire dynamic of Succession, which before revolved around the looming figure of Logan Roy. There have already been three episodes after Logan's death, and it has been an emotional roller coaster with numerous changes.
No More Logan Tantrums
Logan Roy, the patriarch of the Roy family and head of Waystar RoyCo, was particularly known for his violent public outbursts. No one could deny anything to Logan because he would immediately turn aggressive. In fact, the most iconic quote on the show is Logan saying "f**k off" to everyone in the vicinity.

Avengers: Endgame co-director Joe Russo pokes fun at Tom Holland for his inability to keep spoilers secret in a new TikTok video. It has been four years since the Infinity Saga wrapped up with the 2019 blockbuster. Despite that, it remains to be one of, if not the most-discussed Marvel Cinematic Universe project.
Joe Russo recently joined the Avengers: Endgame discourse by reviving an old joke about Holland being unable to keep specific plot points under the lid. The director took it to Agbo Films' official TikTok account for this, watch the funny video below:

Outlander's epic tale of romance through the ages was filled with symbolism, but few symbols were as powerful as the dragonfly trapped in amber. Based on the series of novels by Diana Gabaldon, the Outlander television program combined all the romance, fantasy, and historical fiction that made the books exciting, while bringing the words to life in vivid detail in a visual medium. The heart of Outlander's story was the fateful relationship between Jamie Fraser and Claire, and the show's themes of fate and true love were embodied by the two main characters.
Like many of the greatest romance stories, Jamie and Claire's union didn't start on the best footing, and their arranged marriage was one of convenience and not love. Although some aspects of Outlander season 1 only made sense if one had read the books, the straightforward narrative did become easier to understand as the rules of...

NBC’s La Brea season two episode 11 is titled “The Wedding” but there’s a lot more going on besides the exchange of I Dos. Episode 11 opens with Caroline (Melissa Neal) and her dad, Silas, going over Dr. Moore’s notes, hoping they’ll lead to a solution on how to send Gavin and his family home. They’re not making any progress and are worried Gavin will turn to James for help. Silas (Mark Lee) regrets that he failed to protect Gavin from James all those years ago and dedicates himself to working on Moore’s notes.
He sends Caroline back to the camp to watch over her son. Seconds after she walks away, Silas is shot. The shooter picks up the now blood-spattered notes and leaves without showing their face.

Based on an original idea by co-director Víctor Matellano, this black-and-white anthology film opens on Halloween night as children trick-or-treat. Gravedigger Mister Fettes (Saturnino García), preferring to be called Vampus, feels unappreciated for his work. He holds a sour outlook on the world, as established when he reads a news story about a hipster being stabbed 45 times and reacts by saying it wasn’t enough.
Matellano directs the wraparound segments, where Vampus acts as a storyteller to the audience in a manner resembling The Cryptkeeper. He also encounters many people whose lives he ends at the slightest irritation, before feeding them to his ghoulish pet named Toby. It’s constantly entertaining to watch this ill-tempered gravedigger that García terrifically brings alive.

On Feb. 13, 1998, New Line unveiled The Wedding Singer in theaters in time for Valentine’s Day audiences. The Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore rom-com went on to earn 123 million globally at the box office. The Hollywood Reporter’s original review is below.
We’ve all heard him, usually at weddings and bar mitzvahs where alcohol often blurs true appreciation of his talents. Song stylist extraordinaire, he has the uncanny ability to make virtually any song, even “In-a-Gadda-Da-Vida,” sound like “Hot Hot Hot.”
Now, thanks to Adam Sandler, he has been finally given his due in The Wedding Singer, a (for the most part) winning romantic comedy that plays off the per former’s sweet, loopy personality. Despite a saggy middle stymied by sappy good intentions, the picture stands as Sandler’s best effort.
Demographically, expect some thing of a trade-off. While all the lovey-dovey stuff might turn off some of his partying young male fans,...

Following the launch of his production company ArabQ, the first ever Arab-based production company focused on movies with Lgbtq themes, Egyptian-American filmmaker Sam Abbas will soon release his first feature film. Based in Alexandria, Egypt, ArabQ aims to develop projects speaking to the Middle Eastern experience while also supporting Lgbtq stories and creatives.
“The Wedding” tells the story of Rami (Abbas), a closeted Muslim man hiding his sexuality while preparing for his upcoming wedding to Sara (Nikohl Boosheri), as he struggles to square his desires with his strict religious upbringing. Abbas explored similar territory in his 2016 short film, “Time to Come,” which received enough praise to convince him the subject was worth further exploration.
“The film to me, more than anything, is about repression and alienation. Cultural and religious upbringings impact day to day lives regardless of a person’s self-decided point of views,” Abbas told IndieWire. “People don’t...

“It was a no-brainer. We knew we could make it happen,” exclaims Eric McCormack about the successful revival of NBC’s “Will and Grace” this past season. The series, which originally aired from 1998 to 2006, returned to the peacock network in the fall and has already been renewed for two additional seasons. McCormack’s performance as fastidious attorney Will Truman earned him four Emmy nominations for Best Comedy Actor, winning once in 2001. In our exclusive webcam interview (watch the video above), McCormack discusses that Emmy win and how returning to play Will was “like putting on a very comfortable pair of shoes.”

Jack lives! Well, no, not really. He’s about as alive as Carl on “The Walking Dead” at this point. But the Season 2 finale of NBC smash “This Is Us,” titled “The Wedding,” was a ratings bonanza, and featured an imaginary flash-forward (revealed to be a recurring Kate dream) in which Jack (Milo Ventimiglia) was still alive and renewing his wedding vows with Rebecca (Mandy Moore).
The episode was ultimately about the wedding of Kate (Chrissy Metz) to Toby (Chris Sullivan) and the ensuing drama. But with so much going on, viewers flocked to the finale, which was the No. 1 program among adults 18-49 (4.4 rating) for the week ending March 18, when three days’ worth of DVR and VOD time shifting is included. That means it jumped ahead of juggernaut “The Walking Dead,” which was close behind at No. 2.

Most of the quick flash-forwards teased at the end of This Is Us' season 2 finale were of an ominous or literally depressing nature. The future doesn't look all that bright for the Pearson family. However, there was a little bit of happiness sprinkled in as it appears Kevin has found a new love in the form of Beth's cousin / adopted sister, Zoey. Although the interaction between Kevin and Zoey consisted of just a few short lines at the very end of "The Wedding," she's exactly the type of character Kevin needs to grow and mature.

Spoiler Alert: This story contains details about tonight's This Is Us season 2 finale “The Wedding” on NBC. Out of all the flash-forwards that were the eeriest tonight on the season 2 finale of This Is Us was a moment between an older Tess and her father Randall in which the latter says to his daughter "It's time to go see her, Tess.” There’s been some speculation that the next big mystery to be solved on This Is Us centers around Beth (Susan Kelechi Watson); that there’s…...

[Editor’s Note: The following review contains spoilers for “This Is Us” Season 2, Episode 18, “The Wedding.”]
Is… is it over? No, not Season 2. Clearly, that has come to a close. But are we really, truly, 100 percent done fixating on Jack’s death? After an entire season built around revealing, in excruciating detail, exactly how the Pearson family patriarch met his early end, as well as teaser trailers for the finale that showed Jack aged well beyond his actual lifespan, the Season 2 finale wrapped up with what feels like finality.
It’s hard to trust — after all, we’ve been duped before — but it seems like Dan Fogelman’s NBC drama is ready to move forward. The episode itself, ostensibly built around Kate and “The Wedding,” was far from a smooth ride. (Far too often we covered our eyes like Rebecca crossing a bridge.) But if in a year we’re not talking about the explicit details of a father and husband’s untimely demise,...

Are you done crying yet? This Is Us ended its second season full of major twists, reveals and tears with, well, more of the same.
